A Black Pencil Skirt! One of the timeless possessions a woman can own.

Yes, if you want to instantly sculpt your waist, look slimmer, enhance those curves and look well groomed, stock up your staple with a coveted Pencil Skirt.

Over the years, we have seen many trends and then we have also seen timeless styles. But no matter what when and how, the later will always have my heart. A pencil skirt is a perfect piece every woman should own as a wardrobe essential for that touch of elegance, sophistication and glam. Pencil skirts can be worn day and night, from casual to formal, and even parties.

This age-old style or rather ‘timeless’ trend has been there forever and is worn effortlessly by women of all body types. It might have started as an office ‘must-have’, but this enduring sheath really hasn’t limited itself to 9 to 5. Don’t believe me? Watch as I put this basic apparel to test and style it out in 6 different ways- from work wear to quirky fashion events to casual day wear with my girlies and to date-nights and to late-nights. Trust me, you will be covered everyday of this week.

However, before I carve my looks, I would like to highlight a few key pointers for wearing it well and multiplying your wardrobe with a single PENCIL SKIRT.

♥ Boost your finest features: If your bottom part is a concern, sticking to a solid colour pencil skirt is your best bet, especially black. Color your top with bold patterns, texture, mixing it up to build that illusion of curves.

♥ Dare to wear: Be adventurous, be bold and style new permutations. Mixed colours, crop-tops and folded / knotted shirts. This is a great way to show a little skin with that high wasted cover. And a high wasted pencil skirt is always flattering as it creates an impression of long legs, making you sexier.

♥ Take it easy: The look and feel of your pencil skirt should be smooth and easy. Especially when standing up, as bumps will show it is too tight. In that case, up your size and make it worth the stare.

♥ Slim it down: Good fit is important. Solids are important. Length is important. Also, Colour blocking is awesome with a pencil skirt to express your attitude. However, make sure that the darker shade is applied on the areas of your body which you are looking to slim down.

♥ Wear it in the Day: Wearing a basic colour pencil skirt (solid) can help you in any setting, whether a casual day, everyday meetings and even those last minute happy hours. Make sure you tuck your blouse / top in to emphasise your waist and define your outfit.

You will be amazed to see how easy, basic and wearable this Black Pencil Skirt is in various styles.

♥ Look 1: This bow-tie and pencil skirt was perfect for my daily official meetings and is easy to carry from 9 to 5. It gives me the verve to be sleek and chic, even at work.

♥ Look 2: This look was styled to make my pastel colour pump shirt look sensual, yet crisp for that formal and informal kinda day. Yes, it suited all off them.

♥ Look 3:I wore this for my girl’s night out! Big, Bold, Beautiful and SEXY! I must say, it got me the right attention and woo. There was black and white and gold and red and statement; perfect ingredients for my night out.

♥ Look 4: I wore this day to night for a fashion event and an evening out with my girls, making it fun and flirty and quirky.

♥ Look 5: This was positioned for a casual day look. I wanted that effortless basic and chic look for my daily wear. However pumping some colour with favourite Quirk Box staple clutch, really made it appeal well.

♥ Look 6: A gold glittery glam night out is something I live for and crave for. This look helped me satiate my hunger for that perfect spicy club night. Party On!

In the end, it just doesn’t get better than this! Its effortlessly classy and elegant, its feminine, so modern yet timeless, its sexy and my favourite; so much that its intoxicating! So get the look and get classy! I mean, toxic!!!

If we have to say versatility loudly, it would be with a pair of ‘White Jeans‘!

They are young, relaxed and quite significant. Coloured / patterned jeans are still in trend, making the simple denim style no more boring. Except some people still find it difficult to pair it with different attires. So no more qualms, why not stick to the timeless beauty ‘white’. The skilful white jeans are not only easy to pair with just any colour / pattern / style, they look exceptionally pristine / chic (because it is neutral) and spontaneous (because they are denim).

Whenever given a chance, I like to jump back to my simple sense of style, where I like to keep things basic, yet proper, established and sartorial. The need to look dressed up and elite, even without wearing a dress, purely inspired this look. It was a last minute brunch plan with my girlfriends where I had no time to shake my head on what to wear. Of course, jeans are by far a harmless bet. So I chose white skinnies to add a lil kick-ass chic fashionista look. I do understand that everyone is not comfortable snug jeans, so you might go for a pair of straight fit denims, while we still maintain the sleek chic look we are aiming for.

Pairing it with a deep V cutout crop top to make it look oh-so-sexy, yet sophisticated with the choice of colour. To polish the look I have styled it with a pastel blazer that perfectly smartens-up a denim ensemble. The blazer has beautiful white lace detailing (still crushing over it) on the collar and the cuffs to make it more feminine and tasteful. Why go for a boring blouse (different colour/ pattern), when you can style white denims with a difference.

I am minimal on accessories to keep it classy, so a classy seamless DKNY watch & stoned bracelet is a look-perfect.

Now, my favourite way to finish this look would be by throwing in a worthy pair of footwear. In my opinion, a little bit of heel will definitely perk up the look and makes the simple denim look on-trend. You don’t have to over do with the heels, so 2”-3”inch tall will do the job.

So, tell us how do you style your white jeans?

BONUS TIP: Weather you wear white on white (I love), or white and chambray or white and whatever your heart desires (your personal flair) — you can never lose!

Love thyself,

Sincerely, Su!
